Introducing Industry Corps

This year Wentworth took another step in implementing its strategic goals with the establishment of a new program, Industry Corps. Industry Corps—born of the work and philosophy used in the Center for Community and Learning Partnerships to launch initiatives such as Beacon Pathways and RAMP—leverages Wentworth’s strengths to create education-to-career pathways comprised of stackable credentials that activate career opportunities for students. Though focused initially on the construction industry, Industry Corps plans to expand into other strategic industries such as information technology, clean energy, manufacturing, and the life sciences.  

“Post-secondary success for Boston residents has been narrowly defined as degree completion from an institution of higher education,” said Erik Miller, Assistant Vice President of Community Engagement & Educational Access at Wentworth. “With this high-impact initiative, we’re giving all learners every possible tool for success.”
